Most of the best smartwatches of 2015 you can already buy in stores or online use Google’s Android Wear. There is also the choice of two Apple Watches, one large and one small, in a variety of finishes, but all running the same operating system, watchOS. Then there is also an outlier, but as Microsoft only makes this, that role falls to Kickstarter-funded Pebble, with its growing range of versatile smartwatches.
Wearable devices are no longer rarity and you can easily find the best smartwatches of 2015 in a number of online stores with a very minor difference in the price tags. Here is our recommendation on the most trustworthy online stores where you can buy a smartwatch: Amazon’s Smartwatches Page, BestBuy’s Dedicated Page and Microsoft’s Store selection.
In order to put up together a comprehensive list of the best smartwatches in 2015, we have weighed up everything from design and features, to interface and price. So, you will be able to decide easily which smartwatch will be most suitable for you in terms of best balance of function, performance, style and value for money.
7. LG G Watch R
The LG G Watch R is one of the first Android Wear smartwatches that actually look like a watch.
The arrival of LG's more premium Watch Urbane put this firmly in the shade, and will surely vanish from the list of the best smartwatches rather sooner than later. However for now, its perfectly reasonable spec - 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 410mAh battery - make this at least somewhat worthy of consideration.
The display is worth highlighting it, with a higher resolution than the original Moto 360, and P-OLED screen tech that makes colours really pop. There's also a heart rate monitor, barometer and compass, although no GPS.
If you want an LG smartwatch then the more mature Watch Urbane is a better option, but what really makes the G Watch R problematic to recommend at this point is that unlike other smartwatches of its generation, the price remains high.
